Commuters should prep for major I-5 construction
EVERETT — Snohomish County commuters traveling to Seattle need to prepare for upcoming lane closures on I-5 necessary for repair work, transportation officials said.
From June 20-23, the Washington State Department of Transportation will close two northbound lanes of I-5 on the Ship Canal Bridge in Seattle. A month later, northbound I-5 will be closed entirely between July 18-21 in much of Seattle to prepare for four weeks of a two-lane reduction between July 21 and Aug. 15. Northbound I-5 will fully close again Aug. 15-18 before reopening.
During the lane reductions and closures, the I-5 express lanes passing through Seattle will operate all day and only travel in the northbound direction.
More construction is set to take place through 2027 to complete more repairs and repave the surface of the bridge. In total, the project is expected to cost $203 million.
